Continued Educational Support from FBP

Our
faculty and our Fitness By Phone® Coach Training
Program was the first of its kind to be recognized
by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) as
a Continuing Education Specialist. Upon
completing your training, you will receive .8
CECs from ACE and ACSM. Most other certification
organizations will also accept ACE approved CEC courses,
but check with your own certification organization
to make sure.

1) Phone coaching eliminates or greatly
reduces cost objections. Being a
Master Fitness By Phone® coach will “recession
proof” your business. If you were in business
during the last recession, you know that many
of your clients pull back on luxury items first
(personal training) and as a result, you lose
clients and revenue, putting your business in
a recession. As a Master
Fitness By Phone® coach you are able to offer
phone coaching, something that your
clients can afford and be able to stay fit and
healthy no matter what the state of the economy
is.

2)
Phone coaching fills dead time hours. Most
Fitness By Phone® Coaches conduct their phone
coaching sessions three days a week, during
what is referred to in the personal training
industry as dead time (midday hours between
1 PM and 5 PM). No one has ever not
chosen phone coaching because of the time.
Some people may prefer a different
time, but they are so sold on the idea of phone
coaching that they are willing to take a 20-minute
break from whatever they are doing to participate
in the time slots their Fitness By Phone coach
has available.

3) Phone coaching is an alternative to
personal training when you're sick or injured
or out of town. Think about the
times you had to cancel client’s personal training
sessions because you were very sick, injured
or had to be out of town. There’s the risk of
losing money and/or the client when this happens.
However, with phone coaching, this is not an
issue. Remember, everyone has access to a phone
and phones eliminate distance, which eliminates
the need to cancel sessions with your clients.
If you have to move to another city, your business
doesn’t miss a beat as was the case with Master
Fitness By Phone® coach, Heather Moreno, who
moved several hundred miles up the coast of
California from her original home base of Orange
County, California. The ultimate win-win
scenario, though, is if you have a family, phone
coaching will allow you the time and energy
to spend more time at home and still be intimately
involved in your career and be there for your
clients.

4) Phone coaching eliminates client cancellation issues. Phone coaching becomes even more important if the client is ill, recovering from illness or injury, or has a stressful circumstance preventing him or her from exercising as usual. In fact, studies have shown that one of the number one reasons people lose momentum and stop exercising is that something comes up that prevents them from regularly going to the gym. Because the actual coaching session doesn't involve physical activity, and because it can be conducted anywhere, there really is no valid excuse for the client canceling.

5)
Fitness By Phone® increases your earning potential.
Phone coaching generates more income
than personal training while being more cost
effective to the client. Just think of
the cost and timesavings for yourself if you
didn’t have to travel to the client, deal with
last minute client cancellations or get stuck
at a gym between client appointments. As a Master
Fitness By Phone coach you will make significantly
greater income because there you will simply
have more billable hours available.

Not only does phone coaching yield more billable
hours, it yields far greater compliance, further
adding to the value of phone coaching services.
Stanford University, along with other well-respected,
major research institutions, has done over 20
years of extensive research on phone coaching
for physical activity. The researchers
concluded that phone coaching yields 75-90%
compliance (go to www.fitnessbyphone.com/stanford.htm
to see the research review article). This
research was consistent with the results hundreds
of Master Fitness By Phone® Coaches have been
achieving with thousands of clients all over
the country since 1995 with 75-90% of our clients
physically active most every day of the week.

When we surveyed personal trainers, we found that only 10-25% of their personal training clients were active most every day of the week. Since most traditional personal training clients don’t exercise enough or at all when they are on their own, how much would it cost your clients to work with you most every day (5-6 days a week) to achieve the compliance, and thus the results, that phone coaching yields? How many would pay that monthly fee? How many would actually attend each of those sessions without cancellations?

Most Fitness By Phone® Coaches charge an average
of $225 every four weeks. When you compare
what it would cost a client to achieve 75%-90%
compliance with traditional personal training
(e.g. 5 days a week @ $50-$100 per hour),
you can see that phone coaching is far more
cost effective on a monthly basis than traditional
one-on-one personal training:

The "Monthly Cost to Clients" chart is based on the personal training client training 5 days a week for one month. Personal training charges are based on $1500 per month calculated at a rate of $75 for a 50-minute session not including drive time, prep time or cancellations. Fitness By Phonecharges are based on $225 per month not including prep time (driving time and cancellations are eliminated with Fitness By Phone®). It is interesting to note that if a personal trainer only charges $37.50 per hour ($750 per month), half of the example used above, Fitness By Phonewould still be a significantly better value.

6) Phone coaching provides the
opportunity to increase revenue by selling products
intrinsic to the phone coaching program. With
Fitness By Phone®, you provide not only the
coaching and guidance to your clients, but also
the tools, such as a heart rate monitor and
accelerometer. Every client purchases a heart
rate monitor. If weight loss (let's say
“fat loss”) is a goal, then they also purchase
an accelerometer. You receive a discount
on these products; thus, you earn additional
revenue and profit, without spending time working.

7) When clients “quit” your financial burden is minimized. With conventional one-on-one personal training, clients generally schedule at least two hours a week with their trainers. Some schedule three or more hours per week, right? If, for example, you charge $50 per hour and a client quits, the cut in weekly income can be $100 - $150 per week. Most personal trainers would consider this a significant reduction in income.

With phone coaching, when a client completes the coaching process (they rarely quit, they are usually sent off on their own because they are ready), the time/money lost is only twenty to thirty minutes per week. Basically, you reduce your losses by 400% - 600%. And, the time slot is much easier to fill because of the affordability, versatility and convenience for your clients.

8)
Phone coaching expands your client base. Being
a Master Fitness By Phone® Coach provides
you the opportunity to build relationships with
the inactive population who tend to be intimidated
by traditional fitness environments. Phone
coaching gradually increases your clients' confidence
in you and builds trust. This ultimately
increases the likelihood of them purchasing
some personal training sessions, too.

Phone coaching also allows you the opportunity to reach people who can't afford traditional personal training and opens the doors for you to reach people who don't have time for traditional personal training. As you probably are well aware, many personal training clients have erratic and full schedules. Often, they work full time and/or are raising a family, not to mention their hectic social calendars. Phone coaching allows them flexibility to exercise on their own time schedule without the burden of regularly scheduled personal training sessions.

Another way it will expand your business is it provides you with the opportunity to reach people who are too far to travel to, or for them to travel to you. Imagine having a client base throughout the United States, even internationally, without ever having to leave the comforts of your home.

9) Phone coaching reduces competition.

Not only does phone coaching reach a whole new market of clients who would not have become clients otherwise, but also very few personal trainers have a formal phone coaching program. This alone, will provide a strong distinction between you and other trainers in your area, increasing your chances of getting clients to chase you for business instead of you having to constantly chase them for business.

10) Phone coaching eliminates the “adult baby-sitter syndrome”. Nothing is more satisfying to a personal trainer than applying their knowledge to help someone get motivated to make effective, progressive exercise part of their lifestyle. On the other hand, there is nothing more aggravating then having a wealth of knowledge to help people progress and not being able to use it.

With traditional personal training, clients became dependent on your presence as their alarm clock to start exercising. Since most clients couldn't afford the money or the time for more than 2-3 sessions a week and have a multitude of reasons for canceling appointments (even with a strict cancellation policy), most clients will stay in a maintenance mode. As a result most personal trainers often times feel like highly paid adult baby-sitters--frustrated and bored.

Offering phone coaching services, you will feel significantly more satisfied in your work and so too will your clients.
